So who's it going to be? Buster McMarxist or Methuselah Jones?

I am going to continue with my gloomy appraisal of how progressive US voters actually are, and say:

Obama 266
McCain 272

Which gives Obama most of the battleground states (including, very charitably I think, Nevada, Colorado, and Ohio), but leaves Pennsylvania and Florida swinging to McCain and pushing him over the edge.

To quote Sideshow Bob: "Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king."

Obama will never give you up

Poll

Which is more exciting: the Hillary Clinton - Barack Obama race for the Democratic nomination or the Montreal-Ottawa-Pittsburgh-New Jersey race for first place in the Eastern Conference?

Which one will be settled first?

Obama on religion and politics

For me at least, this 40 minute video is a pretty remarkable thing. Barack Obama speaking to a church charity about the role of faith in progressive society. He speaks as a Christian, but his words are thoughtful, attentive, tolerant, complicated. Even as an atheist I am persuaded and almost moved.

It's remarkable to me - almost unprecedented - when you contemplate that this guy might actually have a shot at the presidency.
